people who aren't afraid of me

so it turns out that i have the FLU! and even though i'm scary and gross to be around, these guys still wanted to hang out with me! haha. so after sleeping most of the day, anthony and i met up with the fam at guppys for some chicken wings and milk tea. i had to pick something up from my boss' house in cerritos anyway, so it worked out great.

krispy kreme donuts

while i was up working last night, i jokingly asked anthony if he would go get me some krispy kreme donuts. he actually did! he so nice! and despite waking up sick, i was so happy this morning 'cause i remembered that there were still two donuts left. hurray!

lunch with jenn

i had to return some things i borrowed from jenn, so the two of us met up for lunch at blenders. i don't know why this is the first time we thought to have lunch together, especially since she works only a few miles from my house. lunch was kind of rushed 'cause i arrived late (my bad) and she had to go back to work. i guess i'm just used to spending hours talking inside my car whenever the two of us hang out. haha. next time!

purses

after having dinner at el rocoto in artesia, anthony's mom drove us up the street to her friend's house to look at some purses! her friend, joyce, owns a company called bella maven, and the back room in her house is set up like a little boutique with purses, cute clothes, and jewelry all over the place! venus and i were allowed to pick any purse we wanted as part of our Christmas presents. i picked the black one that grace is wearing. cutes!

milk and cookies

okay hopefully the rest of the year will be less busy work-wise. less work means more time for fun. and fun times mean i don't have to take solo pictures! haha. i already feel embarassed that there are so many pictures of me on this blog. i was even considering taking it down, but then i realized it is way too early in the year for me to be breaking my resolution. i'm not usually a pessimistic person, but these past few months have just been tough on me. so anyway, since i was having a bad day, anthony baked me some chocolate chip cookies!! so sweet!

thai bbq

venus wanted company for dinner earlier so i met up with her at thai bbq for some pork spare ribs and chicken noodles. i know i eat out a lot, but usually during the week, going out to eat is the only time i get out of my house. plus, it's always fun hanging out with my peeps. i love dinner dates!

tuna sandwich

after church earlier, anthony was super hungry. we decided to have dinner at the habit since we'd been talking about that place the past couple nights. there were only a few people inside the restaurant when we got there, but as soon as we ordered our food and picked a table, the place got packed! i guess we got there right on time. anthony enjoyed his teriyaki burger and i enjoyed my albacore tuna sandwich. yum!

surprise bags

anthony was craving a shredded pork bowl from daikokuya earlier, so we headed down to little tokyo with venus, vince, lauren, and peter at dinnertime. the waiting list at the restaurant was super long, so us girls made good use of the time by visiting the sanrio store right across the street! we each decided to buy a $20 "surprise bag" 'cause they were advertised as having up to $80 worth of merchandise inside of them. we were sooooo excited to open them, and when we finally did it was hilarious!! we were surprised alright! i was not thrilled about what i found inside mine, but the experience of it all made it well worth the money. (=

getting my car washed

after many months of neglect, we finally took julius to get a bath today! i can't even remember the last time i got a car wash. that's terrible. while we were watching him pass through the conveyor belt, we noticed that one of the windows (anthony's) was not rolled all the way up! the guys washing the car started panicking and had super nervous facial expressions as they glanced over at me, but were probably surprised to find me laughing. i have no idea why i thought it was funny, but i was cracking up. it wasn't so funny once i got into my wet car, though. =P but at least my car is finally clean!

celebrating the new year

happy new year! i've decided that my new year's resolution for 2010 is to document at least one thing that makes me happy each day. i'm all about being positive this year. i spent way too much of the past few months inside my house working. i would even go days at a time without seeing the sun. so here's to a year full of happiness: 365 HAPPY faces! (=

we started our new year the way we always do.. at my parents' house! we never do anything super exciting. we just have the tradition of rattling coins and toasting champagne glasses as soon as the clock strikes 12:00. anthony and i thought it would be funny to dress up this year because we usually just sit around in junky house clothes. so here i am with my snazzy hubby and my fat cat getting ready for a year of happy faces. weeee!
